You said you're trying to finish setting AppleCare+ up, which would indicate to me you didn't actually pay for an AppleCare+ plan. Once you pay for it, it shows up on your watch, even if it may not be valid in your country.


If however, you did pay for an AppleCare+ Plan, here is a link which explains how to cancel it --> Cancel or change the payment method for your AppleCare plan - Apple Support

AppleCare is NOT International. AppleCare+ plans apply to the country of purchase and if you are not living in the country of purchase, you cannot add an AppleCare+ plan, nor would it be valid in your country if you had purchased it in the country of purchase at the time of purchase.


This is why we ALWAYS recommend purchasing your devices in the country you live and will use them.
